Yeah, the Strix 90mm fans tend to overpower the sound from Noctuas, even more so because of their higher pitched tone than sheer loudness

https://www.ncases.com/ Is the only location you can order the case new, they do ship to Canada. Other than what you can check ebay for used cases.
Test removing the shroud and fans. I controll my case fans using http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php which takes the GPU temp. So no hardware needed to connect to the GPU.

If you live close to the US there may be a UPS store (or another courier company location) across the border that allows Canadians to have packages shipped to that address, but in your own name (for a small fee). After you pick up your package just declare it at the border and then pay the Canadian sales tax to Canada Customs. Sometimes they don't even ask you to do that.
Here is the UPS store I use in upperstate New York, just across the St. Lawrence river: http://theupsstorelocal.com/2946/
This location is full of Canadians every weekend. The store charges $5 (US) per package per week. You can check online to see if your shipment has arrived in order to organize your pickup trip. Maybe there is something like this near you.

Has anyone tried the new Cooler Master MasterFan series on an air cooler? Thinking of switching up my cpu fan.
http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Lines/case-fan/
Air Pressure version
Silence version
I'm thinking of going with the AirFlow version with a Noctua NH-L12

Hi guys, someone knows if the GB GTX1070 mini ITX does fit with an ATX PSU?
I think it is too wide, side panel cant close.
I believe it will fit, actually. Take a look at this post. The card is 131mm tall, but the PCIe power connectors are recessed by 10mm, which is just enough space to clear the side panel. The only thing that might be an issue is the rear corner of the PCB (see the bottom of the GTX1080 compatibility post), but at 131mm tall modding the card or case shouldn't be necessary, and it's only installation that will be a little more difficult.
Assuming the card does fit, it's more than short enough to leave room for an ATX PSU.

Silver ordered!
Now I need to copy someone's build order for a gaming/vr setup.

You'll need a different CPU cooler and PSU but everything else will fit. Corsair SF450/600 and Cryorig M9i or Noctua U9S for cooling will be sufficient.

I think you maybe spent 60USD too much on fans.
You can use the two 140mm fans that come with the NH-C14 (one in the side bracket and one in the case floor). So that means you need two additional 120mm fans to go with that. I have it set up like that.
Also, I still believe the 92mm rear fan is a waste of money with a C shaped cooler. I've not seen anyone where it makes a real difference (apart from tower style coolers). I have the same system with the 6600K at 4.5Ghz and my baby is purring away at 50°C under benchmark load.

Is there an 'optimum' fan placement for this case? Intake/outtake ?
4 intake fans for nice positive pressure. The case has sooo many vent holes that one doesn't have to worry about exhaust.

I'm assuming two bottom/two sides as intakes? Leave the rear exhaust fan free?
Thats how I have it and very happy with the silent yet efficient cooling. It forces all the heat through the top / rear of the case.
The rear 92mm fan only makes sense if you have a tower style CPU cooler imo.

great thanks!
Hi Guys,
I ordered a M1 which should be delivered tomorrow. I had also ordered on a good amazon deal a Noctua NH-U9S.
I'm still gaming on my old i920 / 7970 rig build in a corsair 800D case and it still goes well, so that I'm not in a hurry to buy the rest of the components and l don't know if I will go KL, Zen or maybe wait a bit longer before upgrading.
I have red that thread a lot and I see that everybody is praising the NH-C14 cooler and to be honest it is true that it looks nice in that case.
There is a few units around there that sells for 89 EUR and I am wondering whether I should get one before it is definitely out.
Do you think the difference with the u9s (build /temp ) is worth it ? What if I wait and build on another future chipset mobo (AM4, or future intel socket), would it remain compatible?
Thanks for your help

I agree with anak85, the rear fan is a bit pointless with the C-14 and 4 intake fans, I guess I have it there just for the sake of having a fan there.
If you know that you will get the NCASE then you should jump on the first C-14 you can find, it is a nice cooler and fits in there like a glove.

I almost went with the same CPU and motherboard, ended up with a 6600K and Z170 motherboard. Wish I had saved the money now, I am sure the performance difference is too small to notice. But you will notice the money you save.
Don't order the Noctua NH-C14 cooler from Newegg, I ordered one and got it last week. I received a NH-C14S which is the newer model which is the 12mm taller
cooler. It won't fit the case with both fans mounted.
Some earlier posters recommended buying the NH-C14 from Memory Express in Canada. Thank You both ! I was able to get one shipped today for $88.68 USD including freight.
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX34316
They currently show only 2 left if anyone is interested. Remember this is a discontinued cooler, get it while you can !
Odd, that is where I got mine and it was the NH-C14 version not the S variant.
How long ago did you get it? I ordered it on 11-09-16 and it was shipped by Action Packaged Inc. They are sending a call tag to pick it up and say they
can not supply the ordered model.
My advice if you can get your hands on a original C14 then get it. The nice thing about it is if you decide to go with a different cooling you can always sell the C14 if its unopened and get your money back and maybe more. They are only going to get harder to find from here on out.
Here is a guy selling his C14 for 75€ in Germany: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s...2x140mm-luefter-sehr-leise/559332714-225-6450
Shipping to the US with DHL is 35€.
The asking price is probably negotiable.
